Some new pics of my rescued fur baby, Zoey

I've now had my galgo (spanish greyhound) for almost 4 months now. She's slowly but surely improving with her anxiety and fear issues. She is blossoming and I love seeing her have a blast at the park with her dog friends and am surprised every time she voluntarily walks up to someone to sniff them and might even let them pet her. She's still shy at home around my husband (I think he reminds her of someone/something in her past because most likely she was abused by men) but if I'm the only one home she's my little shadow. A quick google search will let you know what kind of abuse she might have endured.

We went from her not knowing what a dog bed even was, to her becoming a dog bed thief at her friends' and discovering my bed and couch lol.
We went from her afraid to go down our stairs for a week because of some commotion, to her anxious to go on walks with the neighbors and other dogs.
We went from dragging her out of bed for a walk, to her coming to the door-still only in the morning but it will get better.

anywhooo I'm proud of the progress she's made, yet she still has a long way to go. I finally got around to taking some nice pictures of her and I'd like to share

Our second dog had anxiety when we first got him, and I would say it took a bit over a year for them to completely resolve (which I wasn't expecting them to totally go away, but in our case they did ). It's awesome that she is making so much progress!
